At Atlas Finance, we understand that sometimes unexpected expenses come up when funds are low. That’s why we work with clients with a wide range of credit scores to provide short-term financing solutions.
Credit scores are one of many factors used to determine if a loan application is successful or not, such as loan amount, payback period, etc. A responsible lender looks at all of these factors to ensure you maintain financial health.
When it comes to applying for a loan – it is not about the minimum credit score, it is about your affordability. We assess both your credit score and affordability and then determine whether you qualify for a loan or not.
If you are uncertain of anything, we recommend you visit your nearest branch so that we can assess your affordability and credit score (among other financial health factors) to see if we can assist you.
